From copywriter Nickolaus Sugai<\/a> and interaction designer Lauren Geschke<\/a> comes this poignant video poetry, a kind of love letter to NASA posing a difficult question that we as a culture and a society must answer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We once dreamt of open sails\u00a0<\/div>\n
and\u00a0open seas<\/div>\n
We once dreamt of new frontiers\u00a0<\/div>\n
and\u00a0new lands<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Are we still a brave people?<\/div>\n
___<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Somewhere along the way\u00a0<\/div>\n
we forgot to look up<\/div>\n
we forgot to wonder<\/div>\n
we forgot to imagine<\/div>\n
we forgot to dream.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When history writes about us<\/div>\n
what will they say?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Will they say they watched the masses huddle idly\u00a0<\/div>\n
and weak voices whispering apathy?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Or will they say that we turned the\u00a0<\/div>\n
question marks that loom over this\u00a0<\/div>\n
generation into declarative periods?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A statement that shouts, “We will not<\/div>\n
choose to sit idly while the cosmos moves on!”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The sky is indifferent. For I have never seen it cry.<\/div>\n
It will not wait for us, so we must go to it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because if we ignore the cause of the sky,<\/div>\n
who then will draw the maps of the universe?\u00a0<\/div>\n
